Q: can you put a password protection on ibooks downloaded through iBookstore?

Does anyone know if you can have a password linked to open an ibook thats is available through the ibookstore? I am creating a book that I only want certain people to download and open and wonder if a password protection or some sort of safety feature is availaible

 

Thank you

    You can attach a password to an iBooks Author .iba file, but not to books in the store.

     

    Books in the store are considered open for distribution in whatever territories you signify during submittal. 32 stores at this time as I recall.

     

    If you only want certain people to have access, put them as .ibooks files on your own server and distribute from there only...you can then control who you give the url to and/or employ a logon prior to access.
